does any one really get along with their mother n law?

Question

mine tries to run my life.any answers?

Answer 1

I get along very well with my mother in law. We generally see eye to eye. One important thing that I would recommend is that you let her know that you love your spouse very much and want only the best.

If that doesn't help, then move far far away from her.

Answer 2

Yes, some people do. I do. We have an uninvasive relationship, we can listen to each other even though we don't see eye to eye. I find her to be over bearing but I tell her and she says sorry or clears up the misunderstanding.

Tell her straigh and calmly that you're tired of feeling so bombarded by her invasive comments, actions and etc. Be sure to have examples ready and clearly explainable becuase as sure as the world turns people don't want to hear they're wrong and she might just say YOU are being silly or lying or over reacting. Explain where you stand and what your needs are. Those needs being the ability to make a decision for the family and not having it changed or descriminated by her etc. It's your family, not hers, she's the grandmother not the head of your household. You and her son is. She may have never let go of her son and still tries to take a parental stature. If it's true, explain how this is true and that it's unhealthy becuase it stresses you and even her out. Talk plainly and make it a comfortable respectful but firm conversation or else it may just turn in to a catfight. Moms do that. GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 3

Believe it or not this is a problem between you and your husband. It is his duty to keep his mother out of your business. After all, it's HIS mom. If he's not doing this then he's putting his mother in front of you which is a huge problem.
I'm really lucky. I have a wonderful mother-in-law that lives across the country.

Answer 4

i had a wonderful mother-in-law but i didn't have the troubles that come with the stereotypical one. i married the baby of 13 children and she was tired by the time i came into the picture. i think she was just relieved to not have to worry about him as much. i bet now shes rolling in her grave knowing what a trashy bimbo he left me for.

Answer 5

I definitely do not!!! I've known her for about 25 years (since I was 13) and can't stand her!!! She hasn't been married or even dated the whole time and gloms on to my wife because she doesn't have any friends. Her whole family even tried to blame my mother-in-laws suicide attempt on me!!! I know it sounds mean but I'm just waiting for her to die and collect the insurance money!!!

Answer 6

I didn't get along with my ex's mother, she is a control freak, and my ex is a Momma's boy, which meant that his Momma came first before his spouse. She didn't really like me at all, it was probably because I wasn't submissive and a slave to her, in a lot of ways I am probably like her, and so we clashed.

Answer 7

Can't stand her! Tried to work things out...she doesn't try! Treats her only bio grandchild with respect and the "others" like crap! "Others" are children from previous marriages and adopted children as well!

Answer 8

I can tell you that neither of my parents got/gets along with their mother-in-law, and that I'm not thrilled with my future mother-in-law either. However, my fiance and my parents got along fabulously, and I think it's safe to assume that they will continue to get along!!

Answer 9

Yes, very well! Better than with my own mother!

Answer 10

Yep. Love her, she's great.
